Abstract
This technical note presents a method to evaluate the thrusts on cantilever walls with a short heel using Coulomb's approach in terms of limit equilibrium. The proposed method permits solutions to some problems which cannot be solved using the customary method of Rankine, such as those concerning backfill with an irregular shape, subject to strips and lines of charge, or affected by pore pressure.Key words: active earth force, cantilever walls, lateral pressure, active condition.
